Since 2009 when Bibi was exposed to chainmaille in a recreational jewellery-making class, she's taught herself the skill and hasn't looked back since. She tries to keep her pieces versatile for every day wear as well as special occasions, and finds keeping all the designs original to be the most difficult aspect of her work. At her jewellery desk at home, she works regularly as well as when she's inspired, sometimes finding herself unable to stop working. Her favourite piece of work that she created was a beaded tie for a friend. It was her first and only one.
Another craft she engages in is making tile coasters. "Right now I'm excited about the tile coasters, because they are so colourful and display different styles and designs." The style of her ceramic coasters is mostly vintage and romantic, but also "sometimes a little quirky." Presently, she's working on coasters with new designs as well as custom order anklets. When not creating, she works full time in an office, hangs out with her dog, shoots photos, blogs (www.redrockdsgns.blogspot.ca) , and enjoys being an amateur foodie.
